Celebrating all things craft beer through an exclusive opportunity, “Philly Beer Week’s European Vacation” will be the sixth annual fundraiser in which the organization pairs up a winner with a local brewer of his/her choice for a two-day trip to Amsterdam.

Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20 and the winner receives VIP access and exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of top bars, breweries and other beer spots in Europe. The package includes two roundtrip tickets from Philly to Amsterdam and two nights of hotel accommodations (winner and brewer).

The winner will be drawn on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at City Tap House Logan Square from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., with special firkins and rare brews being poured all evening from the participating breweries. Participants can also win tickets to PBW 2016 events, a brewery tour, and other prizes.

This year PBW is teaming up with famed brewer, Menno Olivier, of Brouwerij DeMolen, to brew the special collaboration beer that will be served at selected bars and restaurants during PBW 2016.

Participants must:

Be at least 21 years old

Winners must have a valid passport or the ability to be issued one in time for the trip which will take place in January 2016.

Tickets can be purchased online or in-person at participating beer-centric Philly bars and restaurants

The ticket purchaser will select a professional brewer from a designated list of participating Philadelphia area breweries and the two will head to Amsterdam
